Here is the might Colorado River....it looks real peaceful and calm....
New here is one of the rafts then Indians use on their river trips ....they would take them all the way to the lake and pull then out at our boat launch at South Cove....And here is the new launch the Indians had made so they could pull out there rafts here instead of the lake....now the reason they made this new launch is because in one little spot the river became too mighty and they had lots of trouble getting past the rapids that developed because the water level became to low.
So Melissa & Stephen and company took a hike up the river to see the rapids that was causing all this trouble and wow we could see why...awesome!
I would not want to be on the raft going through this....the top right was not quite so rough but still pretty scarey!
The left side was the worst...if you look right in front of the white water you can see the big whirlpool ...you would really have to row hard to miss it....the water was fierce!
Lots of big boulders.... the water made so much noise we could hear long before we got there....it was a wonderful hike and a wonderful witness of nature.....wonderful day ....wonderful hike.....thank you God for the beauties of the earth!
